lesbianreinaa's Simply the Best

“I’m pregnant.” Scully blurted out, unable to keep it in any longer, her relief that he was there, present, holding her and basking in her presence too much. She had to let it out, for better or for worse.

“What?” He breathed, the music now feeling like a vortex of noise as he tried to zero in on her beaming face, she knew she should be feeling fear, anxiety, and many other things, but in the moment she couldn’t wipe her grin away.

AU-- Post Requiem Mulder is returned rather quickly... so quickly, in fact, that he's still unaware of Scully's pregnancy.

Scullysfan's The Discipline of Blessings

His eyelids clenched shut and his head bowed, looking to her like a defeated man. She whispered his name.

He came to her, even as Skinner stepped away, his expression one of embarrassment as Mulder wrapped his arms around her from behind.

AU-- After the baby saves Scully's life, she vows to not let the Consortium's machinations govern their existence.

@frostbitepandaaaaa/FrostbitePanda's Elysium

 "Listen...Scully," He said quietly, "I don't mean to upset you I'm just trying to-"

"Mulder, I'm pregnant." She had meant to silence his apologies so she could prepare something profound to say to ready him for her news. Everything she had formulated, postulated and pondered evaporated at the quick glance of his pained face. She didn't know if she was comforting him or punishing him with this sudden admission. She bravely kept her expression blank as he stared at her, allowing the words to pass through him several times.

AU-- TINH Jeremiah Smith heals Mulder.

Donna/donnah’s (mulderscreek) This is Happening

"The uh, the illness I had just before you . . . "

His hands grasped hers now and he squatted before her. She couldn't help the small smile that appeared on her face. His panic face was in evidence for sure. He loved her; he had for a long time. She could tell him the rest.

"Scully, please."

AU-- TINH Scully drags Jeremiah Smith over to heal Mulder.

Ten's (xffics) A Fuller Canvas

Scully.

He knew who he was and he knew who she was.

And she was pregnant.

Mulder was very glad that he was lying down. It saved a shocked collapse.

AU-- Deadalive Mulder takes a peek.

HumphreyWrites/sure-fine-skullz/spookysadsophie/s-humphrey/sophie-writes-things/sophiewrites/SophieRobbins’s (WBM)

She knew him better than he knew himself sometimes..

His eyes lit up, “Wait...” he pieced it together as she nodded in confirmation. “This happened the old fashioned way, Mulder.”

For a intelligent person, it seemed to take a long time for him to register what she was telling him. “Wow.”

Three Words Mulder doesn't want Scully to leave.

Octobris - Chapter 5 (Tumblr)

“I tried to leave,” she says, taking a breath and wiping the tears out of her eyes as she pulls back. “I tried and I just couldn’t...”

He cups her face in his arms, and uses his thumb to wipe away a tear. “My bedroom smells like you.”

Post Three Words Mulder withdraws... until he realizes his apartment feels too lived in.

Octobris - Chapter 7

He’s rendered her completely speechlessness. He mistakes her silence for disapproval. “If you don’t like it...”

“No,” she chokes out. The sky blue paint, lamb wallpaper border and star mobile have reduced her to tears. “No, I love it. It’s wonderful, Mulder.”

Mulder secretly sets up the nursery.

Sundries in the X-Files Universe - Chapter 4  

“Baby things, Scully.”

She rolls her eyes. “I know, Mulder, but you’ve hid them in your bedroom... like this is some kind of contraband.”

Mulder has a new type of stash.

Sundries in the X-Files Universe - Chapter 17

His eyes meet hers, and she could drown in him. She moves to his bedside, and he notices the baby strapped to her chest. He raises an eyebrow, “Um, when did you have a baby?”

She’d forgotten he was even there, he was being so quiet. “Oh, about two months ago,” she goes to undo the clips, and his hand reaches hers. He must have done the math. “He’s ours, isn’t he.” It isn’t a question, but his eyes shine, and she nods. She quickly undoes the clips, and turns the baby to face him, “This is William. William, this is your dad.”

AU-- Post TINH Scully moved to California... until Mulder is resurrected, many months later.

@leiascully's

Part of Us /A prompt for you?

He raises her hand to his lips. It’s an effort, but he manages. “I’m here and I’m staying,” he tells her. “What happened while I was gone?”

Post Deadalive Scully discusses her fears.

Ripe

Scully, pregnant, looked ripe. Mulder didn’t have another way to describe it. 

Post Three Words Mulder really likes Scully's new "look."

OctoberFicFest Day 13: Moving In

Scully seems perfectly content to have him in her space.  They order food for two (or three, or five) and he knows where the dishes are in her cabinet. She maneuvers cozily past him in her kitchen in search of her morning cup of decaf.  Maybe it’s the nesting instinct.

Post Three Words Mulder slowly spends more time at Scully's apartment.

Lamaze/Do you think...

One way or the other, he is the parent of this child, irrespective of its biology, but they haven’t talked about what they are to each other, no titles or promises or even endearments. But she fits between his legs in a way that is at once new and familiar. The new softness of her, the expanded dimensions of her: they make sense in a way that nothing has made sense since he was revised, despite his initial shock at seeing her gravid, heavy with this unexpected child, serene and weeping all at once.

Alone Mulder and Scully navigate Lamaze (and the case) together.

OctoberFicFest 2021 - Chapter 10/OctoberFicFest Day 10: Mushrooms

“I was kidding,” he says. “No anchovies. They remind me of that snow globe full of sardine juice on the boat.”

“We’ve certainly lived in interesting times,” she says, rubbing her stomach as the baby kicks.

“Tonight we’re going to live in extremely boring times,” he says firmly. “Pizza. A movie. No supernatural influences of any kind.”

“Are you sure you’re my Mulder?” she asks, tipping her head onto the back of the couch.

“Very sure,” he says, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

Scully (and Mulder) and her pizza cravings.

emmbright/Emma Brightman's (LiveJournal) Low Tide

"You're really here." She walks toward him, carefully lowering her bulk into the chair and grasping his gray-skinned hand in hers. Her voice holds a note of wonder he's rarely heard before. Invisible men, visions in Buddhist temples, resurrected lovers -- Scully's a tough one to impress.

Post Deadalive Mulder wakes from a fruitless nightmare of his sister. 

@lyndsaybones's

Oh 

This moment doesn’t feel real. It’s impossible on so many levels. She shouldn’t be here. He shouldn’t be here. The news she has to tell him shouldn’t even exist.

And yet here they are.

Post Deadalive Mulder's response is underwhelming.

Octoberficfest prompt: driving

He'd always been the one driving. Literally and figuratively. He'd find the cases, present them like gifts at her feet and they'd be off, off to the airport, to the crime scene, to the carbon copy hotel. He'd run this way and that and she’d follow, sometimes dutifully, but more often in excitement, in awe of his boundless and joyful wonder. Desert highways and dusty back roads. Him behind the wheel, working his theory like the hull of a sunflower seed between his teeth. And she, along for the ride, keeping him from going too far, too fast, helping him not to drift. It felt right, somehow.

This is why, perhaps, everything feels so wrong right now.

Three Words Scully drives Mulder home.

Season 8 Drabbles - Chapter 7 (Tumblr)

The doll, stitched together with thick cotton thread, had been in the family since the Mulders came over from the Netherlands.

He’d always thought it was pretty ugly, but looks weren’t what made it special. The threadbare doll had sat in the crib of every Mulder baby for five generations. Six now, he thinks proudly.

“I did that,” he murmurs, thinking of Scully’s round belly.

Mulder and Scully work through Empedocles.

Could you write Scully being overdue or just ready for the baby (William) to come

“You wanna try taking a walk?” he asks, leaning in the doorway.

“If we walked all our laps around the block in a straight line, I think we’d Belgium by now,” she says ruefully.

“We could be having waffles if it weren’t for that pesky ocean,” he teases.

Walking, spicy foods, hiking up and down the stairs, gallons of red leaf raspberry tea, accupressure, she’s done it all and with no effect. She’s not dilated at all, not so much as one Braxton Hicks contraction in days. This kid is camped out and obviously very comfortable.

AU-- Post Empedocles Scully is embarrassed over her request.

Season 8 Drabbles - Chapter 9

“Go get comfy, I’ll fix you something.”

She passes him a wary glance over her shoulder,but acquiesces.

When he heads back to the bedroom with a sandwich and apple slices, he finds her flat on her back lying diagonally across the bed. She didn’t even manage to get out of her tennis shoes, let alone change into her signature silk jammies.

His heart pounds for a second as he realizes just how much he loves her.

Alone Mulder hopes to be there for his partner.

tiny fic prompt: last few words exchanged

“Did you put the meatloaf in the fridge?” she murmurs. 

“Uh-huh,” he answers, rubbing his eyes.

Mulder has other plans.

I’d love to see a follow up of the conversation...

Her face softens a little and she nods. “Baby’s moving a lot, sometimes if I get up and stretch out a bit, I can reposition things and it’s not as uncomfortable. It’s not working very well tonight. I’m sorry,” she says, shaking her head with embarrassment, “this is probably more than you want to hear.”

That alone breaks his heart. He doesn’t even think as he grabs her arm and pulls her to his chest. He buries his nose in hair and breathes deep.

“I’m sorry I ever let you think that there’s anything about any of this that I don’t want to know,” he says as he squeezes a little harder.

Post Alone Mulder drives to Scully's after a nightmare.

Shoshana's

Skin Deep

Silently, she had pulled his hand down to her stomach, placing it there until the baby kicked against their joined hands. He'd been lost for words, before he'd been abducted he'd thought she couldn't conceive--but then, he must have been wrong, something must have been wrong.

Post Deadalive Mulder is happy with the news.

After Dinner

Cheeks flushed with equal quantities of embarrassment and joy, she'd stood very close to the side of the bed, grasping his still weak hand, placing it against her belly. Still lost for words, he'd rubbed his fingers over the smooth fabric of her clothing. Her unworried countenance told him all he needed to know, all he cared to know at the time.

He'd had worries later, when left alone with his thoughts.

@greycoupon's Baring Fruit (WBM)

He was focused on Scully’s face and her hand in his, but not the rest of her. She was just another body in the room. Then one of the nurses asked her to move so they could check his blood pressure and she stood up. He saw all of her.

Post Deadalive Mulder is happy... before the PTSD sets in.

@minuete-blog's Tell Me A Story

She could see Mulder’s internal struggle play out in his eyes each time. The darkness in his eyes finally fading away to the far recesses of his mind when he registered her presence, her request. He would recount the snow fort memory, and be rewarded with her 1000-watt smile and a hug.

Post Deadalive Scully requests a story from Mulder.

"I already know, Scully." I gave her a warm, brilliant smile and joyfully patted her stomach - I could picture our child safe and sound, looking forward to the day where she or he can be born.

Reflection of the Truth

When I opened my eyes, I learned she was pregnant with our baby. I suspected as much when she was overcome with dizziness and nausea in Oregon.

Post Three Words-Empedocles Mulder doesn't feel in control of his life.

While Mulder Sleeps

I've always loved watching Mulder sleep. He always looks like an innocent child as he lays there on the bed, protectively holding our son, William, in his arms.

Post Existence Scully remembers the day she met her partner.

Red's Alive

He looked up, confusion and yet a sense of incredible wonderment lighting up his beautiful hazel eyes. He looked at her and she didn't say a word. He shook his head, looked away, looked back at her again.

Post Deadalive Mulder is happy about the baby.

@admiralty-xfd's

Culmination - Chapter 12

They stay together like that for a long time, holding each other. Eventually she gets up to check his vitals and the sight of her enormous pregnant belly hits him like a ton of bricks.

How…?

Suddenly he’s certain he must be dreaming. He must be, this is impossible. The in-vitro didn’t work, and Scully can’t conceive naturally. She can’t be pregnant.

Post Deadalive Mulder thinks his existence is all a dream.

First Time For Everything - Chapter 15

He still can’t quite wrap his head around any of it; she’s here, they are back together, but it feels like everything has changed. Everything feels different. She’s pregnant with his baby, and although this was a circumstance he’d in fact planned for at one time, he’d written it off as an impossibility after the in vitro failed months and months ago. Being faced with it now, larger than life, is nothing less than shocking.

Empedocles Mulder is starting to soak in the happiness aplenty.

MSR Prompts (admiralty-xfd) - Chapter 25

This is all so stupid. Her mother just saw him enter her daughter’s apartment with his own key, and flirt with her in a way that would rival any 90s sitcom. Mrs. Scully gives them a look that, to him at least, indicates she knows he and Scully are fooling exactly no one.

Maggie joyfully welcomes Mulder (home.)

@seek-its-opposite​ (WBM) memento (vivere)

She tells him about all-day pickup games in the vineyard with Samantha and that time he recited a Twilight Zone monologue in his sleep, channeling Rod Serling in the passenger seat of a rental car as they sped through the heartlands. If he tries, he says, he’s pretty sure he can conjure up memories of a little curly-haired girl who followed him around. He could just be saying it to please her, but she remembers the words I think I had a brother loped in rounded teenage handwriting and believes him. Maybe all Mulder children are fated to forget everything except the fact that they’ve forgotten. The baby kicks.

AU-- Deadalive Mulder wakes with amnesia.

@blackcoffeeandteardrops's (Ao3) I know it’s probably been done before but Three Words for your episode prompt

He looks over, unprepared for the absolute warmth coming from her. “He’s mine? We–”

Paternity (Tumblr)

‘Why did you want to tell me first?’

‘What?’

‘About being pregnant. You said it didn’t feel right not telling me first.’

‘Well, because-‘ she looked at him, stopped as he looked up from where he was placing the mugs on the coffee table. ‘Mulder, do you really not know?’

‘Know?’

Three Words Mulder is asking around to for the father of Scully's baby.

Healing

He was shuffling from foot to foot, studying the nails he had bitten to the quick – Scully had tried to remember if that was something he used to do, bite his nails, but she drew a blank. It wasn’t a habit she remembered. She’d have to get him a bag of sunflower seeds next time she went shopping, see if they helped.

‘I wish I’d been there. I could have…I could have rubbed your back, or…something,’ he finished lamely, shrugging and fidgeting some more.

Post Three Words Mulder and Scully find their way back together through the only possible means: dorky romance.

Things That Go Bump in the Night (Tumblr)

'That was the baby?’

‘Uh-huh,’ she murmured sleepily, eyes still shut, ‘been moving more since you came home. Knows you’re here.’

Mulder sat up, flicking the lamp on the bedside cabinet on, pulling the sheet back, ‘can I?’ he reached over to Scully’s stomach, fingers hesitating over her stretched skin.

Post Three Words Mulder wants to make up for lost time.

A Present

All he could do was stare at that frame. He felt a tightness in his chest, as if there was a thread connecting his heart to what he held in his hands. He never thought he would have a chance to see this. Him, an outsider who no one would take seriously, let alone seriously enough to love. After losing so much you begin to think you’re not good enough to keep anything you care about.

Scully gifts Mulder a picture of the ultrasound.

@cutelilcurtain's (Ao3, WBM) 28 and or 34 from the I love you prompts?

“Tea?” It’s her attempt at cordiality, a feeble offering that feels familiar and safe because practice has told her so. Mulder stands still, licking his lips.

“No,” he hums, shaking his head. He steps once, twice, toward her, and in two steps closes the gap. Her breath catches and tension snaps between them, between the space between his hands and the inches they hover from her belly. 

Finally they come down against the swell and Scully feels months of silent suffering pour out of her and into his hands. He grounds them both and brings her back.

Post Three Words Mulder apologizes.

Five Sentence Fics (Tumblr Prompt) - Chapter 2

She was mute for a moment, and while he easily recognized the softness in her eyes, he also noted a slight glimmer of impatience, as though she was insulted by his not believing this miracle belonged to him.

"February."

"I've been gone for…six months?" he asked, bewildered.

Post Three Words-Existence Mulder and Scully slowly adjust to their new life.

@wtfmulder's Prompt: MSR - FLUFF -scully is pregnant, Mulder looks after her.

If he’s a little jumpier than normal, hopping off couches and rearranging pillows for no apparent reason, making them way too many cups of tea, calling her… a lot, for no good reason, it’s all just a throwback to the manic Mulder she knows and grudgingly loves.

...But the cat comes yowling out of the bag one early morning while he’s preparing them bagels and talking about, hell, probably super soldiers. She tunes him out. She talks about this all day at work. But he interrupts himself, loudly, and earns her full attention with a start.

“You can’t drink that,” he frowns. Are you crazy? his eyes ask. Not typically, but she’s beginning to feel a little crazy with the way he’s disassembling her coffee pot and pouring the water back in the sink.

“Mulder, babies don’t start solids until six months. We’ve got a bit of time until then,” she told him, pausing near him as brightly colored pacifiers caught her eye.

“Nothing wrong with being prepared,” he replied flippantly somewhere down the aisle.

“Preparation is the father of inspiration,” she murmured under her breath, smiling as the memory flitted past.

He peered at her. "Blink for me." Rolling her eyes, Scully obeyed, blinking three times at various rates of speed. Mulder moved closer at the first blink, until his nose was nearly touching hers. "Well," he said, "I don't see any evidence of black oil in there. Still, you wanting something that sounds as nasty as sardines and milk, together?"
